Across The Borderline

There's a land, so I've been told Every street is paved with gold And it's just across the borderline And when it's time to take your turn Here's a lesson you must learn You could lose more than you ever hope to find And when you reach the broken promised land Every dream slips though your hand Then you'll know it's too late to change your mind 'Cause you pay the price to come this far Just to wind up where you are And you're still just across the borderline Up and down The Rio Grande A thousand foot prints in the sand Reveal the secret no one can define The river flows on like a breath In between our life and death Tell me who the next to cross the borderline And when you reach the broken promised land Every dream slips through your hand Then you'll know it's too late to change your mind 'Cause you pay the price to come this far Just to wind up where you are And you're still just across the borderline
